# Qlik

There are two ways to connect **Qlik** to Honeydew:

1. Via a **JDBC** connection, using the **Presto** protocol
2. Via a **Snowflake** connection, utilizing the [Honeydew Snowflake Native Application](/integration/snowflake-native-app)

## Setting up a new Data Connection

Qlik data connections are mapped to a Honeydew workspace and branch

<Tip>
  It is recommended to use an [API Key](/access-control/api-keys) for setting up the connection.
</Tip>

1. In the main menu, go to **Create** and then click **Data connections**
2. Choose a **Space** from the list of spaces
3. Choose **Presto** from the list of **Data connectors**
4. Set **Host name** to `jdbc.honeydew.cloud` and **Port** to `443`
5. Set **Catalog** to `<workspace>__<branch>` value, based on the Honeydew `workspace` and `branch` you would like to connect to.
   Omit the branch value if connecting to `prod`.
   For example, for workspace `tpch`, branch `prod`, the value would be: `tpch`.
   And for workspace `tpch`,  branch `dev`, it would be `tpch__dev`.
6. Choose **LDAP Authentication** as the **Authentication Type**
7. Check the **User defined credentials** checkbox if you would like to use per-user credentials
   or keep unchecked if you would like to share the credentials with anyone who has access to this data connection.
8. Set **Username** to the API key (or a Honeydew username), and **Password** to the API secret
   (or to the user's password in Honeydew).
9. Make sure the **Enable SSL** toggle is **On** (it should be enabled by default)
10. Provide a unique **Name** for the data connection (e.g. "Honeydew")
11. Click **Test Connection**
12. Once the connection is successful, click **Create**

<Note>
  If your organization uses a custom hostname for the JDBC connection,
  you can locate it in the Honeydew UI, under the **JDBC** section in **Settings**.
</Note>

You can now create datasets on top of the Honeydew database connection, using the Qlik user interface.

<Note>
  Qlik does not support Direct Query for Presto data connection. Only data import is supported.
</Note>

## Connecting via Snowflake Connection using the Snowflake Native Application

1. Create a Snowflake database connection in the account where you have
   the [Honeydew Snowflake Native Application](/integration/snowflake-native-app) installed
2. In query editor for a new query/report, use the Honeydew Snowflake Native Application
   [query interfaces](/integration/snowflake-native-app#queries) (`SELECT_FROM_FIELDS` or `SELECT_FROM_QUERY`)
   to query the data.

## Metadata Sync

Honeydew support for Qlik metadata sync is in preview. For more information, please contact [support@honeydew.ai](mailto:support@honeydew.ai).
